Abstract
A simple one-dimensional (1D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of the chemical oxygen iodine laser (COIL) with supersonic mixing is compared with three-dimensional (3D) CFD models and with experimental measurements of the COIL parameters. Dependence of the gain, iodine dissociation fraction and temperature at the resonator optical axis and of the output lasing power on the iodine flow rate predicted by the 1D model is in good agreement with that found using 3D models and experimental results. Hence the 1D model can be used instead of much more complicated 3D models for estimates of the working parameters of supersonic COILs.
